Support Us

Fundraising is an integral piece of the overall budget. Revenue generated from collected tuition fees and the parish subsidy do not cover all operating expenses. There will be different programs and events running throughout the year affording families the opportunity to help support St. Francis Xavier School. Our biggest fundraiser, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to SFX, is Building Our Future. Our goal is 100% participation!

Please take some time to review all the fundraising programs we offer.

One of the main priorities of St. Francis Xavier is to allow any family that wishes to educate their child within our halls the opportunity to do so. In reality, the cost of educating a child at a Catholic school comes at a cost and often with financial sacrifice for many families. Keeping tuition at a viable level, which allows families to send us their children, is a must. In turn, a gap is created between revenue collected from tuition and the actual costs of educating our children.

Building Our Future is a fund that has a 100% return rate to SFX.

Families can choose to support this fund in a variety of ways: electronic fund transfer; credit card; or check. Each family will receive a BOF letter outlining the tuition gap specific to their family and a suggested donation amount. There will also be instructions on how to initiate matching donations – we hope every family investigates this option!

Please consider establishing an automatic monthly payment as a quick and easy way to donate to Building Our Future. For example, if you arrange to have $100 withdrawn from your account each month beginning in September and ending in June – will have donated $1,000 in a ‘painless’ way!

Golf Outing

This annual event generates approximately $20,000 in revenue each year and is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers. Even if you do not golf, there are a few different ways to help support this great event via various forms of sponsorship and raffle tickets. Adults who aren’t able to golf during the day are invited to attend a dinner that evening. This is an incredibly fun event run off-site that raises money for the school!

This community building fundraiser is a tremendous SFX event. It’s a great celebration of SFX, draws the community together, and raises terrific money for the school. Revenue is generated through business sponsorship and race registrations. It is a walk / run / stroller friendly event – everyone of every age is invited to participate. Please consider registering your whole family for the event and inviting friends/neighbors to join you as well. New this year is the Falcon 5k web site! Everything is in one place making for easy registration and donation options.

When: coming soon!

Purchase Fundraisers

Book Fair

This great event serves as a fundraiser and as a shopping opportunity! Anderson Books has a wide variety of items, in addition to books, available for sale. One special touch at this event is the teacher wish list: a list of books teachers are “wishing” to receive as classroom gifts which families can purchase and gift to the classrooms. The Book Fair is also a great event where families can stock up on holiday gifts!

When: coming soon!

Chairs: Lisa Doyle & Ally Hayes

Restaurant Event

SFX partners with local restaurants to hold events throughout the year to raise funds for our school. Restaurants differ in percentages they will share, but each event nets proceeds for SFX. It’s a delicious, easy way to not only support our school but also our local community!

When: Events will be held throughout the school year.

Chairs: Janet & Peter Newman and Kelly Brennan

AmazonSmile

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. And we ask you to choose St. Francis Xavier as that organization! It’s an easy, one-time set up. Please take a moment to do so and make SFX ‘smile’ with every purchase you make on Amazon.com.

We are most grateful for the continued support we receive each and every year. THANK YOU!
